Your support makes all the difference.This year marks 22 years since Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain died, and while it's never necessary to be reminded of just how great his vocals were, a clip of raw mic footage has now resurfaced to do just that.
People are re-sharing the isolated vocals of 1991 song "Polly" which is taken from Nirvana's second studio album Nevermind. The track was inspired by a newspaper article about a 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped, tortured and raped after a rock show in Washington.
This isn't the first time somebody has taken Cobain's recognisable voice and isolated his vocals; in the past, classic songs like "Smells like Teen Spirit" have been given similar treatment.
Last year, raw mic footage of Adele was released following her grandstanding performance on Saturday Night Live.
The singer's rendition of "Hello" went viral at the same time her third studio album 25 took the world by storm.
Cobain's wife Courtney Love paid tribute to the singer on her birthday earlier on this year by sharing an old photo of the couple.
